Famous quotes containing the word writing:

    The big toad sits in my writing room
    preventing me from writing. I am a flower
    who dries out under her hot breath.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Poetry has no goal other than itself; it can have no other, and no poem will be so great, so noble, so truly worthy of the name of poem, than one written uniquely for the pleasure of writing a poem.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    The naive notion that a mother naturally acquires the complex skills of childrearing simply because she has given birth now seems as absurd to me as enrolling in a nine-month class in composition and imagining that at the end of the course you are now prepared to begin writing War and Peace.
    Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
